A Most Thoroughly Pernicious Pamphlet is now on sale. You can get it here

What is A Most Pernicious Pamphlet?

It is an A5, 17 page staple-bound booklet on my old school rpg campaign setting, Pernicious Albion. It’s all insane angel conspiracies, occult aristocracy, revenant Romans, tennis with vampires, evil couture, Ars Goetia, royal spawning pits, realpolitik, light homoeroticism, and lakes of human teeth, but for now, you get the pamphlet, which contains

two ruleset-agnostic classes: the vampire and the warlock

modifications to the cleric and the magic-user

three supernatual patrons with tables for motivations, goals, and methods

equipment, services, weapons, and armor tables designed for new characters in eerie fairy tale settings

Esoteric languages

Why should I buy it?
I'd like to think it is filled with good ideas you can include in your game, but also

I wrote this with an aim to compress setting description and character creation into a single process: the classes, starting equipment, and languages all convey Albion to players without the need for a lot of exposition. This might be a good template for you if you want to do the same.
